Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

It seems bad that if a nuclear-level emergency required immediate decisive action from the White House, it would basically be impossible to know who was giving the orders, whether they were given securely, and if they could be effectively communicated to the American people.

President Trump said Wednesday he will "take a look at" pardoning a group of men charged with planning to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, in 2020. He called the case, which has resulted in two convictions and two guilty pleas, a "railroad job."

Awful: Trump just blamed foreign students for taking the slots of American kids. But the cuts in the House GOP bill he's pushing could cost hundreds of thousands of working class kids their route to college. Those two things are connected. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1957...

How close do you think we are to literally closing the border to all foreigners? Doesn't it appear that's where we're headed? It's ridiculous, of course. But you have to wonder. They're clearly trying to discourage foreigners from coming here. So what's the end game?

BTW, I'm very happy that @indivisible.org has gotten people to go to these Town Halls... ...but we've got to make it a regular thing. Don't just go when you're pissed. Go also to support. If you're in a Bluer than Bluer District, GO TO YOUR TOWN HALL anyway. Call your Rep anyway.

"I am a member of no organized party; I am a Democrat." A classic saying and a reminder that our Party is NOT PERFECT! But they align with my values, and they represent our best shot to fight Trump. Continuing to hamstring them is NOT A SMART PLAY. And I will fight you if you try.

The Felon is losing 96% of his cases in court, by R & D judges. So he attacks the courts. He’s pardoning criminals, violent and those convicted of fraud and bribery. So he lies about immigrants. Perfect authoritarian moves. Americans, continue to rise up before democracy is lost. #ProudBlue
